MINI&#x27;s new model has made its debut at the 2023 IAA Munich Motor Show, with the British brand unveiling the design and tech specs of the car\u00a0 \u2013 including a brand-new infotainment system that elevates the car&#x27;s connectivity to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>While a petrol version will be available in time \u2013 sharing its dimensions but not its platform with the Cooper EV models \u2013 the new electric MINI will be offered in two forms: Cooper Electric E and Cooper Electric SE.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2b30FZhr--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1693469528\/autoexpress\/2023\/08\/MINI%20Countryman%202023.jpg\">New 2024 MINI Countryman grows in size and gains all-electric power<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The former features a 40.7kWh battery and sends its energy to a single electric motor offering 181bhp and 290Nm of torque, with a claimed range of up to 190 miles. The latter model increases the battery capacity to 54.2kWh while power and torque rise to 215bhp and 330Nm respectively for a 6.7-second 0-62mph time, six tenths of a second faster than its sibling. The Cooper Electric SE offers up to 250 miles of range, according to MINI. The E and SE pairings can be charged at 75 and 95kW respectively, meaning a 10 to 80 per cent recharge takes 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The new car will only be available as a three-door, with the forthcoming production version of MINI&#x27;s Aceman concept set to occupy the space in the brand&#x27;s line-up previously accounted for by the MINI five-door.<\/p>\n<p>The latest Cooper&#x27;s design has been based around what head of MINI design Oliver Heilmer calls \u201cCharismatic simplicity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--EuKut9M2--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1693468654\/autoexpress\/2023\/08\/MINI%20Cooper%202023-5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cInspired by our history, we have developed our own new design language, defining our DNA,\u201d he told Auto Express, adding that the new car&#x27;s appearance is \u201ccharacterised by a clear, reduced design language intuitively focused on the essentials of the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MINI has removed chrome for a smarter, more minimalist look, while the EV&#x27;s (larger) wheels have been pushed out towards the extremities of the body, improving packaging and space inside. At the front there&#x27;s a new octagonal grille and MINI&#x27;s trademark circular headlights, which are offered with three different LED running light signatures.<\/p>\n<p>There&#x27;s more customisable lighting at the rear, with the tail lights able to be customised, showing the familiar Union Flag signature, or a choice of other modes. They&#x27;re joined by a strip on the tailgate, with all lighting featuring a welcome and a goodbye animation.<\/p>\n<p>Adjusting the car&#x27;s proportions has freed up more space inside \u2013 although having sat in the rear of the new MINI Cooper ahead of the car&#x27;s unveiling, the rear seats are still tight. Boot space is up to 200 litres with the rear seats in place, rising to a maximum of 800 litres with the rear back rests folded down.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the exterior, the interior has been treated to a big design overhaul. Like every MINI since the brand\u2019s rebirth in 2001, the centrepiece of the new car&#x27;s cabin is still a large round display \u2013 once a speedo, and now an ultra-slim OLED screen measuring 9.4 inches in diameter. All models will feature this nerve centre of the car&#x27;s cabin \u2013 called the MINI Interaction Unit \u2013 displaying speed, media, EV data on the state of charge and range available, plus all the customisation options \u2013 and there are plenty built in.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--HmB-rwgg--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1693468691\/autoexpress\/2023\/08\/MINI%20Cooper%202023-14.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>MINI&#x27;s 2024 offering runs a new OS9 operating system (based on Android software), with owners able to select different themes from the menus which change the look and feel of the screen and interior lighting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--FRxbr6Qo--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1693468665\/autoexpress\/2023\/08\/MINI%20Cooper%202023-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Opt for the MINI&#x27;s native nav set-up and users can benefit from a \u201ccharge-optimised\u201d routing function, while other tech includes an optional 3D head-up display.<\/p>\n<p>Optional high-speed 5G data connectivity and MINI&#x27;s MyMINI app means the new Cooper is the brand&#x27;s most connected car ever \u2013 and this extends to MINI&#x27;s new \u201cHey MINI!\u201d personal assistant, with owners also able to choose Spike, a digital depiction of a dog, as their avatar of choice.<\/p>\n<p>Three trim levels will be offered: Classic, Exclusive and Sport. Classic features a knitted textile interior, with black synthetic leather sports seats, amongst other items. Exclusive gets a two-tone houndstooth pattern for its knitted textile trim on the dash panel, perforated trim for its sports seats and the option of what MINI calls a \u201cSpray-Tech\u201d roof, which blends three different colours. Finally, Sport trim delivers the raciest look and feel, with multi-coloured knitted textiles, black synthetic leather seats with contrast red stitching and more gloss black for the car&#x27;s grille and logos. A contrasting roof and bonnet stripes can be added.<\/p>\n<p>Basic equipment specs the same for the three trim levels, with more driver assistance and safety tech also on offer for this new car, including MINI&#x27;s Park Assistant Plus, Digital Key Plus (which allows users to unlock their car with their smartphone) and Remote 360 surround-view monitoring system via the MyMINI app all available.<\/p>\n<p>Prices start from \u00a330,000 for the MINI Cooper Electric E, rising to \u00a334,500 for the Cooper Electric SE, with deliveries set to begin in spring 2024.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Now read our<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>list of the best superminis on sale right now<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/mini\/mini\/107999\/new-2024-mini-cooper-ev-unveiled-250-miles-range\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iconic British supermini will also be available with petrol power;
